Acknowledgements

The Plant Disease Clinic depends on an industrious staff of both full-time and part-time employees to prepare culture media, isolate pathogens from plant tissue, measure soil pH, extract nematodes from plant tissue, maintain records, answer the telephone, keep track of samples, and send out reports. In 2018, diagnoses in the Plant Disease Clinic in Blacksburg were performed by Mary Ann Hansen and Elizabeth Bush, with valuable assistance from Ella Reeves and Kate Costello.

Plant Clinic staff consult with many faculty and staff in various departments in order to make complete, accurate diagnoses and recommendations. We would like to thank the following people for their helpful assistance during the past year:

Plant Pathology, Physiology, and Weed Science Dr. Anton Baudoin Dr. Jeff Derr Dr. Jon Eisenback Dr. Michael Flessner Dr. Gary Griffin Dr. Scott Hagood Dr. Chuan Hong Dr. Charles Johnson Mr. David McCall Dr. Mizuho Nita Ms. Kara Pittman Ms. Jill Pollock Dr. Steven Rideout Dr. Sue Tolin Dr. Keith Yoder

Entomology Mr. Eric Day Dr. Thomas Kuhar Dr. Doug Pfeiffer

Horticulture Dr. Joyce Latimer Dr. Alex Niemiera Dr. Jayesh Samtani Dr. Holly Scoggins Dr. Greg Welbaum Dr. Tony Wolf

Crop, Soil, and Environmental Sciences Dr. John Fike Dr. Michael Goatley Mr. Steve Heckendorn Dr. Mark Reiter Dr. Wade Thomasen

Biology Dr. Jordan Metzgar

Fisheries and Wildlife Dr. Jim Parkhurst

We would also like to thank Mr. Todd Powell of TSP Software for designing and continuing to support the Plant Clinic database ("PClinic"). The database has given us the ability to keep complete records of Plant Clinic samples and to mail reports to Extension Offices electronically. Information on purchasing PClinic can be obtained from the Clinic at <[email protected]>.

Kate Costello painstakingly compiled the annual report. The annual report can be viewed on-line at <https://www.ppws.vt.edu/extension/plant-disease-clinic/reports.html>.

Introduction

The annual report for the Plant Disease Clinic located on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg is presented in the following pages. Plant specimens that were submitted to and diagnosed at the Agricultural Research and Extension Centers throughout the Commonwealth are not included in this report. Note that the number of diagnoses performed was higher than the number of samples received because some samples are diagnosed with more than one problem.

For pathogens that could be identified to species or for which only one species is known to occur on the host plant in question, the species name is listed. For those diseases in which one of several species could have been involved, the epithet is listed as "sp." The Plant Disease Clinic does not routinely identify pathogens to species because species identification can sometimes be a very time-consuming process and often has little bearing on control recommendations. Most pathogens were assumed to be the cause of the disease if they were cultured in high numbers from the plant tissue or identified by molecular techniques, if they were reported in the literature to be pathogens of the particular host plant, and if they were reported to cause the observed symptoms.

Viral problems were, for the most part, either diagnosed by an antibody test involving the use of immunostrips or they were sent to a private lab for antibody testing at a cost to the grower. In some cases, identification of the specific virus was not desired by the client. In those cases, if symptoms indicated a virus infection, the diagnosis is listed simply as “virus”.

Soil samples for nematode assays were forwarded to the Nematode Assay Laboratory. Nematode diseases were diagnosed by extracting nematodes from soil or plant tissue. Samples must include at least 1 pint of soil for nematode assays. Nematode assays were routinely performed on samples of plant species known to be affected by nematodes, e.g. boxwood. Nematode populations in the sample were compared to damage threshold levels to make a control recommendation. Threshold levels have been developed in research trials for many, but not all, crops grown in Virginia.

The phrase "Cause of Problem Unknown" is used for plant samples from which no pathogen could be isolated and for which no obvious environmental or cultural condition could be associated with the problem. Trees have more samples in this category and in the category "Insufficient Sample" than any other type of plant. Tree problems are more difficult to diagnose in a clinic setting than problems of annual plants for several reasons. First, tree problems often develop over the course of several years and current symptoms may be related to stressful conditions that occurred in previous years. Also, it is difficult for growers to supply an appropriate plant specimen for diagnosis since the causes of many tree diseases are in the trunk or roots.

Some insect problems are also listed in this report. Insect damage is often mistaken for disease, and samples with insect damage are sometimes submitted to the Plant Disease Clinic rather than the Insect Identification Lab. We make a preliminary diagnosis of insect damage on these samples and refer them to Mr. Eric Day in the Insect Identification Lab. The final diagnosis on all samples of insect damage is performed by Mr. Day. Samples

with known insect problems should be sent directly to the Insect ID Lab with the appropriate form.

We also receive digital images and email messages regarding plant problems. For the most part, it is difficult to diagnose diseases without a plant sample; however, diseases with unique symptoms can sometimes be diagnosed from an image or a description. Images are most useful when submitted with a plant sample. Total numbers of email and digital image inquiries are listed on p.3.

Reports are mailed electronically to the local Extension office from which the sample originated. Upon request, we will simultaneously send electronic reports to one or more individual Extension personnel. Since implementing electronic mailing, we have discontinued faxing or mailing hard copies of reports. Relevant fact sheets for some diseases are available on the Web at http://pubs.ext.vt.edu/category/plant-diseases.html.

DISEASE HIGHLIGHTS 2018

The Plant Disease Clinic performed 2163 disease diagnoses and identifications on 1650 plant samples in 2018. Highlights of the 2018 season are provided below.

The 2018 growing season provided excellent conditions for boxwood blight development and spread in Virginia. The Plant Disease Clinic received a record number of boxwood samples for diagnosis in 2018 (417 samples) and 188 of these were positive for boxwood blight. When boxwood blight first came into the state in 2011, it spread mainly on infected plants that were transported from one place to another and spread was slow, but after the sale of infected plants by a large retailer in 2016, the disease was introduced to many new landscapes in Virginia. It has since spread to new locations via pruning tools and other equipment, boxwood greenery and probably also on animals, in addition to spreading on infected plant material. Wet conditions and moderate temperatures, which were prevalent in fall of 2018, favored development and spread of the disease in many parts of Virginia.

Wet conditions also favored many bacterial and fungal diseases, some of which we diagnosed for the first time in 2018:

Field Crops

• Hemp (Cannabis sativa) – Fusarium Bud Rot (Fusarium sp.)• Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) Hollow Stalk, caused by several species of Pectobacterium
